[Editor’s note: The theory of major climate and weather changes brought about by relatively minor perturbations has always troubled me as inconsistent with the Biblical teaching that what God made—including Earth’s climate system—was “very good”(Genesis 1:31). This article explores the likelihood that the “butterfly effect” occurs only in computer models, not in the real world.—ECB] […]

Much of the world was optimistic after a peace deal ended months of conflict in the Middle East that had disrupted the global oil trade. But peace in that region has long been a tenuous matter, and how long it lasts is anybody’s guess. Nonetheless, there are other reasons for optimism that are not subject to the vagaries of geopolitics. For the past two decades, the media have reported a “climate crisis” with a conviction that presumed dissent to be insane

Executive Summary Glyphosate is among the most consequential agricultural technologies introduced in the past halfcentury. Its widespread adoption has reshaped weed management, reduced tillage, stabilized yields, and lowered production costs across much of global agriculture. At the same time, glyphosate has become a focal point of public controversy, driven by hazardbased classifications, litigation, and advocacy campaigns that often
On January 7, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from 66 international organizations deemed “redundant, poorly managed, unnecessary, costly, ineffective,” or instruments of America’s adversaries. Among them are various United Nations agencies and, most significantly, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the backbone of global climate governance. During his first term, President Trump removed the U.S. from the Paris
